4. For thou hast maintained my right and my cause. Thou sittest on the throne, judging righteously.
5. Thou hast rebuked the nations, thou hast destroyed the wicked; thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.
6. O enemy! destructions are ended for ever. --Thou hast also destroyed cities, even the remembrance of them hath perished.
7. But Jehovah sitteth for ever; he hath ordained his throne for judgment.
8. And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.
9. And Jehovah will be a refuge to the oppressed one, a refuge in times of distress.
10. And they that know thy name will confide in thee; for thou, Jehovah, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.
11. Sing psalms to Jehovah who dwelleth in Zion; tell among the peoples his doings.
12. For when he maketh inquisition for blood, he remembereth them; the cry of the afflicted ones hath he not forgotten.
13. Be gracious unto me, O Jehovah; consider mine affliction from them that hate me, lifting me up from the gates of death:
14. That I may declare all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion. I will be joyful in thy salvation.
15. The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made; in the net that they hid is their own foot taken.
16. Jehovah is known by the judgment he hath executed: the wicked is ensnared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.
